This week on March 18th, NCAA Basketball
tournament will be starting. Here in the 2SpeakRight speech room, we are
getting into the March Madness through vocabulary and our favorite basketball
IPAD app. One of our favorite sources for all things vocabulary is
Vocabulary.com. They compiled this list with a basketball theme. Our plan
is to give students this list and have them find two words they do not know.
Using the internet and graphic organizers, they will share/explain their
new words to their language group. (See our TpT store for free vocabulary
graphic organizers to use with this activity):
